A 32-year-old male client has sharp precordial chest pain that radiates to his neck. He gets relief if he sits and leans forward, but the pain gets worse with swallowing. On physical examination, a pericardial friction rub can be heard. He had an upper respiratory tract infection 2 weeks ago.

Based on the client’s presenting symptoms and physical findings, defend what the most probable diagnosis would be.
